UM Installation OWL LPWAN
12 Release 02 - 02/20204 Router Description OWL LPWAN is an industrial cellular router intended for the North American market (NAM). This router is designed for wireless communication in the mobile networks that make use of traditional cellular technologies. The primary purpose of this router is its use in the Category M1 (Cat M1) services on the cellular LTE network. LTE Cat M1 is a new cellular technology specifically designed for the needs of applications targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) or machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. LTE Cat M1 is a low-power wide-area (LPWA) air interface that lets you connect IoT and M2M devices with medium data rate requirements (375 kbps upload and download speeds in half duplex mode). The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, serial line RS232, RS485, one binary input and one output. The device also has two readers for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards, which are located on the left panel of the router. The router can be provided only in a metal casing. The OWL LPWAN router is equipped with a power backup feature. It is a short-term power backup (maximum 15 seconds - depending on technology) which is used to complete the run- ning operation or to send the required data immediately after failure of power supply. Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web in- terface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed system log etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe communication. DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, backup primary connection and many other functions are supported. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts which are started on various actions. It is possible to create up to four different configurations for the same router. These configurations can be switched whenever necessary via Web interface, SMS or binary input status. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time. UM Installation OWL LPWAN Release 02 - 02/2020 13

If the negative pole of the router is grounded, there is no protection against reversed polarity! The only protection left is the fuse inside the device. Only the service center can restore the router’s functionality. UM Installation OWL LPWAN Release 02 - 02/2020 21
6.5 Removing from the DIN Rail
The DIN rail clip is suitable for a DIN rail according to EN 60715 standard only. The default
position of metal rail clip, which is used for mounting the router on a DIN rail, is shown in the
following figure. Its position can be changed on some models (back or bottom). When changing
the position of the DIN rail clip, tighten the screws with max. 0.4 Nm torque.
Figure 8: Default position of DIN rail clip
To remove the router from the DIN rail it is necessary to lightly push down the router so that
the bottom part of the DIN rail clip hitched to the DIN rail get out of this rail and then fold out the
bottom part of the router away from the DIN rail.

2 GND(-) Negative pole of DC supply voltage
Table 6: Connection of power connector
Figure 11: Power connector
Power supply for router is required between +9 V to +36 V DC supply. Protection against
reversed polarity without signaling is built into the router.
If the negative pole of the router is grounded, there is no protection against reversed
polarity! The only protection left is the fuse inside the device. Only the service center can
restore the router’s functionality.
For correct operation it is necessary that the power source is able to supply a peak current
of 1.2 A.
Unit has to be supplied by a power supply specified as a Limited Power Source (LPS) or
CEC/NEC Class 2 source of supply.
In applications requiring low power consumption (such as solar power - not 7/24 mode) is
strictly recommended to use "LPM" mode prior to powering down the entire router.
Circuit example:

Release 02 - 02/2020 276.6.5 Reset Button
The RST button on the front panel has three functions on OWL 4G routers:
• Reboot the router:
Hold the RST button for less than 4 seconds, the router will be restarted.
• Factory reset – restore the default configuration:
Hold the RST button for more than 4 seconds. The PWR LED turns off and on again.
We recommend holding down the RST button for 1 second after turning on the PWR LED
on the front panel.
• Factory reset – restore the default configuration when unable to boot:
If the router is unable to boot due to a bad configuration, turn off the router (power
supply). Push and hold the RST button, turn on the router and hold the RST button for at
least 10 seconds. This will return the router to default configuration.
Before performing the factory reset of the router, it is recommended to back up the router
configuration settings (see "Configuration OWL 4G Family" user manual) because reset
of the router will return all configuration settings to their default states.
You can download the "Configuration OWL 4G Family" user manual on the Internet
at: https://www.doc.hirschmann.com/.
In order to press the RST button it is necessary to use a narrow screwdriver or any other small
tool.

Two SIM card readers for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards are located on the left panel of the
router. In order for the router to function, it is necessary to insert an activated SIM card with
an unblocked PIN code, or you can enter the PIN code in the router web interface. The SIM
cards may have different adjusted APNs (Access Point Names).
Type of SIM cards: Mini SIM (2FF) 25.0 x 15.0 x 0.76 mm.
Changing the SIM card:
• Always disconnect the router from power supply before handling the SIM card!
• Unscrew the SIM card cover.
• Using a plastic opening tool, or your fingernail, press the SIM card slightly into its
slot until you hear a click.
• After hearing this click, release the card and it will pop out of its slot.
• Remove the SIM card and push any other SIM card into the slot until it clicks into

Release 02 - 02/2020 337 First Use
7.1 Connecting the Router Before First Use
Before putting the router into operation it is necessary to connect all of the components that
are required to run your applications. Don’t forget to insert a SIM card.
The router can not operate without a connected antenna, SIM card and power supply. If
the antenna is not connected, the router may be damaged.
Be very careful when tightening the antenna. If you over tighten the antenna, then you can
twist the antenna connector off of the circuit board.
7.2 Start
The router will start when a power supply is connected to the router. By default, the router will
automatically start to log on to the default APN. The DHCP server will start to assign addresses
for devices connected through the Ethernet port ETH0. Router’s behavior can be changed via
the web interface. This is described in detail in the "Configuration OWL 4G Family" user manual
that you can download at: https://www.doc.hirschmann.com/.
7.3 Configuration
If no SIM card is inserted in the router, it is not possible for the router to operate. Any
inserted SIM card must have active data transmission.
7.3.1 Configuration using a Web Browser
For status monitoring, configuration and administration of the router a web interface is avail-
able which can be accessed by entering the IP address of the router into the web browser. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0.
Use the HTTPS protocol to help maintain secure communication.
Applies to devices that are delivered without unique default password
• The default settings allow only the user “admin” with the default password “private” to
configure the router.
• After successfully entering the login information a user has access to the router using the
Internet browser.
UM Installation OWL LPWAN
34 Release 02 - 02/2020Applies to devices that are delivered with an unique default password that is located
on a label on the device
Perform the following steps:
1. Open the web interface the first time you log on to the device.
2. Type in the user name “admin”.
3. Type in the unique default password that is located on a label (“Def. password”) on the
device.
4. Click the “Login” button. After successfully entering the login information you have access
to the router using the Internet browser.
5. To help maintain the security of your network, change the unique default password
of the router.
Some features may be disabled until you change the unique default password.
The unique default password will be applied again if you reset the router by the “Reset” button.
You find a detailed description of the router settings in the Web interface in the "User Manual
Configuration OWL 4G Family".You can download the PDF on the Internet at: https://www.

• When designing this device, Hirschmann largely avoided using high-wear parts. The parts
subject to wear and tear are dimensioned to last longer than the lifetime of the product
when it is operated normally. Operate this device according to the specifications.
• Relays are subject to natural wear. This wear depends on the frequency of the switching
operations. Check the resistance of the closed relay contacts and the switching function
depending on the frequency of the switching operations.
• Hirschmann is continually working on improving and developing their software. Check
regularly whether there is an updated version of the software that provides you with addi-
tional benefits. You find information and software downloads on the Hirschmann product
pages on the Internet (https://hirschmann.com).
